P.S. The US database does a good job on Copenhagen.

FWIW, I looked up Copenhagen in the Danish list and received "Søgning gav ikke noget resultat" which means literally "Search produced no result" (I do know that in Danish it is København).

The UN Group of Experts on Geographical Names (UNGEGN) is also relevant:

https://unstats.un.org/unsd/geoinfo/ungegn/default.html

They keep up a list of searchable geographical names databases in a wide variety of languages:
